Silence on the Turf
A packed stadium. A quiet parking lot. One death no one can agree on.
Detective Margie Patenaude expected an ordinary evening at Shouldice Park with her daughter. Instead, she walks into a scene that pulls her from spectator to investigator in seconds.
Everyone has a theory. Everyone has a favorite suspect. And everyone seems to know exactly what happened before the evidence is in. As Margie and her team push past rumor and performance, they uncover a case where appearances are polished, motives are messy, and the truth keeps slipping out of reach.
With community pressure rising and the media closing in, Margie has to move fast, stay precise, and keep the people she loves out of the blast zone.
Ghosts in the Ground
The land remembers what people try to forget.
When a corporate executive is found dead inside a groundwater pump house at Beaver Dam Flats, Detective Margie Patenaude expects a difficult case. She does not expect a case tied to one of Calgary’s most disputed landscapes.
With Detective Gagnon at her side, Margie follows a trail of fractured testimony, old documents, and unresolved community history. Every lead points backward. Every answer opens a deeper question.
In a place where entire streets vanished and trust never fully returned, this homicide is about more than one death.
Bones of the Elbow
The river gave up the bones. The rest of the truth stayed buried.
When skeletal remains are uncovered in Griffith Woods, Detective Margie Patenaude is called to a scene already tangled in jurisdiction, history, and public attention.
As Margie and her team chase leads through park staff, permit holders, activists, and development pressure, the case grows more complicated by the hour. Evidence is fragile. Witnesses are defensive. And every new detail seems to point in a different direction.
With scrutiny mounting from media and officials, Margie must hold the line between careful process and urgent action.
